The Shins: Chutes Too Narrow This is one of my favorites, and from Albuquerque boys, too! I mean, how perfect a song is "Mine's Not a High Horse"? PERFECT, I tell you!

Iron & Wine and Calexico: In the Reins If you like Iron & Wine (I do) and you like Calexico (I do), give this collaboration a try. Each song is good for distinctly different reasons. It works, but unexpectedly so.
